Understanding Autoimmune T1D & The Value of Early Detection
Autoimmune Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) can be detected through islet autoantibody testing years before symptoms appear.1-2 The video here explains how the condition progresses silently through presymptomatic stages, with beta cell destruction occurring long before symptom onset and clinical diagnosis.4-8

Does your patient have an existing autoimmune condition? Check for autoimmune type 1 diabetes!
Individuals living with other associated autoimmune diseases like celiac disease or autoimmune thyroid disease, are at an increased risk of developing autoimmune type 1 diabetes (T1D) and should be appropriately screened.1-6
Early detection of autoimmune type 1 diabetes could reduce the risk of diabetic ketoacidosis
Delay in screening for autoimmune type 1 diabetes (T1D) can increase the risk of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) at diagnosis—a critical complication that is potentially life-threatening and may result in long-term poor glycemic control and neurological complications.1,2 By identifying autoimmune T1D early, you can significantly lower the risk of DKA at diagnosis.3,4
How should individuals with positive autoimmune T1D autoantibodies be monitored over time?
Individuals who screen positive for ≥1 autoimmune islet cell antibodies need periodic medical monitoring, which includes regular assessments of blood glucose and HbA1c levels. You can also educate them about symptoms of diabetes, diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), and provide psychosocial support to prepare them for a possible clinical diagnosis for type 1 diabetes (T1D).1
